1 <br />ORANGE COUNTY <br />BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br />ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br />Meeting Date: October 14, 2014 <br />Action Agenda <br />Item No. 3 <br />SUBJECT: Orange Well Net Update <br />DEPARTMENT: DEAPR PUBLIC HEARING: (Y /N) No <br />ATTACHMENT(S): INFORMATION CONTACT: <br />A) Orange Well Net Well Details Tom Davis, 245 -2510 <br />Table David Stancil, 245 -2510 <br />B) Map of Well Locations <br />C) DWR Web Page Examples <br />PURPOSE: To receive an update regarding Orange Well Net (OWN), the groundwater <br />observation well network. <br />BACKGROUND: The Department of Environment, Agriculture, Parks and Recreation's <br />( DEAPR) groundwater observation well network, Orange Well Net (OWN) uses a combination <br />of bedrock and regolith wells spread across the main types of bedrock geology present in <br />Orange County. Regolith wells, which measure groundwater levels in the unconsolidated <br />material present above bedrock in the subsurface, monitor natural stresses on the quantity of <br />groundwater available in storage which are caused by variations in climatic conditions. Bedrock <br />wells monitor changes in groundwater levels in the bedrock across the County. <br />Groundwater level data collection began at six bedrock wells in March 2010. Additional bedrock <br />wells and regolith wells have been added over the last few years. Wells have also been <br />removed from the network for various reasons. In July 2014, Capital Investment Plan (CIP) <br />funds were utilized to establish a new regolith well at the Blackwood Farm to provide <br />information regarding shallow groundwater conditions in concert with the existing bedrock well <br />at this location that has been part of OWN since 2010. These funds were also used to <br />complete bedrock and regolith wells in a wooded area at the future Northeast District Park site. <br />Attachment A is a listing of well construction details for the current OWN bedrock and regolith <br />wells. Attachment B is a map showing the locations of the wells that are currently in use along <br />with the underlying geology in Orange County. <br />
